KUALA LUMPUR: The new Nissan Almera KURO (Black) Edition has enhanced sporty aesthetics and for 2024, a trendy new exterior body colour, Glacier Grey, has been added.
The new Nissan Almera KURO (Black) Edition kicks off with factory-fitted styling enhancements that encompass gloss black front grille cladding and black alloy rims, all of which are applied across the three variants of the Almera as standard equipment.
Also, customers can choose either the KURO Package or KURO GT Package which elevates the look of the Almera KURO (Black) Edition considerably.
The Almera KURO (Black) Edition starts at RM83,888, with a launching promotion at RM1,000 for the KURO Package or RM1,500 for the limited edition KURO GT Package (limited to 300 vehicle sets only), along with low monthly instalment starting from RM658. It is available for viewing and test drive at all Nissan Showrooms nationwide.
The KURO Package builds on the aerokit developed exclusively by TOMEI Japan for the Almera Turbo by adopting a gloss black front bumper spoiler, gloss black rear bumper spoilers, gloss black side skirts and gloss black boot lid spoiler, complemented by thoughtful accessories such as ICE cool tinting film, sport pedals, kicking plate, door handle protector and door visor.
Those seeking to unleash the full styling potential of the Almera KURO (Black) Edition can opt for the KURO GT Package which adds on the distinctive TOMEI GT Wing and 16-inch IMPUL Racing alloy rims for the complete stealth treatment.
“The Nissan Almera Turbo embodies what we at Edaran Tan Chong Motor aspire to offer – high-tech, high-value products that are not only affordable to own, but also fun to drive and economical to run,” said Christopher Tan, director of sales and marketing at Edaran Tan Chong Motor Sdn Bhd.
Powered by technological innovations under the Nissan Intelligent Mobility and Nissan Safety Shield 360 initiatives, the Almera Turbo is one of the most advanced B-sedans, offering cutting-edge driving aids such as Intelligent Forward Collision Warning (IFCW) and Intelligent Forward Emergency Braking (IFEB) that are standard across all three variants, with the top VLT grade adding Blind Spot Warning (BSW), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) and Intelligent Around View Monitor (IAVM) 360-degree camera with Moving Object Detection (IMOD).
To achieve its impressive fuel economy rating of 18.4km per litre, the Nissan Almera Turbo utilises the Mirror Bore Coating technology derived from the iconic R35 Nissan GT-R in its turbocharged engine to reduce friction and heat, supported by the ultra-efficient XTRONIC Continuously Variable Transmission with D-Step Logic and Sport Mode.
The Almera Turbo’s 152Nm from its 1.0-litre turbocharged engine comfortably eclipses the torque outputs of competitors’ 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engines.
Inspired by a ‘Gliding Wing’, the Almera Turbo’s instrument panel design is contemporary and finished with premium materials that mixes chrome, piano black, carbon-fibre pattern finishes and a flat-bottom three-spoke steering wheel for a truly sporty cabin ambience.
The Nissan Almera also engages the driver with an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment display (with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto)and colourful 7-inch semi-digital meter cluster while pampering passengers at the back with generous legroom courtesy of Almera’s long wheelbase of 2,620mm.
